This month’s Everything is Rosy special kit inspires all kinds of possibilities for easy paper crafting. It’s been a lot fun creating ideas to make with the kit. Today, I’m sharing alternative ideas…gift boxes and a small gift tag to go with them.

This box uses one of the gorgeous papers tied up with the beautiful navy ribbon. A quick “thank you” added to the tag and you are ready to go. It will hold some candy, or a small gift or even a gift card. What a beautiful way to say thank you to someone special!

This example uses one of Stampin’ Up!’s mini pizza boxes that are food safe. You can add a few cookies, or a special brownie or treat to thank someone, or even as a birthday treat (just stamp the birthday greeting on the tag). And doesn’t that Melon Mambo ribbon add so much to your package?

Need a cute tag for a gift or package? This one is so easy to make using the DSP in your kit! And the simple envelope adds a great touch to your gift.

Take one of the 6″x6″ pieces of paper and score on side at 1-3/4″ and 4-1/2″. Rotate the paper one turn, then score at 1″ and 5-1/2″. Fold along the scores lines – I’ve done this on white cardstock so you can see – your paper will look like this:

You will cutaway the areas I’ve scribbled on and it will look like this:

Fold the sides over and glue it. Then fold up the bottom piece and glue it like this for a finished envelope:

Cut a coordinating piece of your choice. You can make it just a tag-like insert (4-1/2″ tall and 2-5/8″ wide) or if you want the card to open, cut it 4’1/2″ x 5-1/4″ and score in half along the long side. Add a tag on the outside and adhere a white piece of cardstock (4-1/4″ x 2-1/2″) on the back of the one-sided tag, or inside on the card. This allows you to add a quick and heartfelt note for your recipient.
